San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

Fine. There were no excursions here. This is where we left.

Nanaimo, British Columbia

Very cute! The harbor was nice and we ate lunch at this great restaurant called Minnos located in a nearby hotel. We walked all around the town and did some shopping.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

Not much to say. This was the drop off port and needed to leave the ship early in the AM. We disembarked and went our separate ways.

Astoria, Oregon

Due to bad weather, this stop was canceled

Santa Barbara, California

I love Santa Barbara. Been here many times and didn't need to pay for an excursion. We ventured out on our own being very familiar with the city. We went wine tasting, had a lovely lunch and then returned to the trip.

San Francisco, California

I also love SF. Been here many times as well so we ventured out on our own. Irish Coffee at Buena Vista, lunch at Scomas, then my sister and I walked to Union Square and did some shopping.

Star Princess

Don't sail. I'm sorry, this isn't directed toward Princess specifically. This was only my 2nd cruise and it confirmed that I really don't enjoy cruise ships. I'm not into the activities and really don't like vacationing with over a thousand people in a confined space (the ship). It's noisy and crowded and I enjoy peace and quite. I felt like all we did was eat. The excursions were nice except we didn't get a chance to go to Astoria due to bad weather (not the ship's fault) and the one excursion we paid for in Nanaimo got canceled for safety standards (weird).
